Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) has a molecular structure that consists of multiple carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. The electron-domain geometry around each carbon atom is typically tetrahedral due to the presence of four electron domains (bonds and lone pairs) associated with each carbon. However, glucose is a complex molecule with multiple functional groups, so while individual carbon atoms exhibit tetrahedral geometry, the overall three-dimensional arrangement of the entire glucose molecule is more intricate and can be described as a cyclic structure in its most common form.
